f7 took me under their wing as a Fellow and helped me pivot from military service to VC! The honesty, transparency, and direct communication at f7 is second to none. Participating in the fellowship gave me world-class experience in VC ops, visibility of top 1% founders, and access to an incredible network (like my fellow alumni!)
